Tylenol in Colombia...

Is Tylenol sold in Colombia, and if so, is it under a different name? If it is not sold, what is the Colombia equivalent? Thanks

In Colombia the generics are easy to find and much cheaper. Acetomionaphin and Ibroprofeno for example. I buy generics whenever possible with good results.

Dolex is Tylenol (acetaminophen or paracetamol) is in every drugstore in Colombia.

Brand name Tylenol is expensive when it can be found.

I always buy a big ass bottle of Advil from Costco and take it there because it's so expensive. $400 pesos per pill? No thanks.

acetominophen is acetomeniphen - dolex gripa as hollywood stated.

- i discovered a drug here for fever and pain that works better than any i have taken before in my entire life. it is called scaflam (nimesulida) and works with the liver somehow to alleviate pain and reduce fever. however, it works like acetominophen on steroids. it is not approved in the USA by the FDA. however, i will continue to take it in times of extreme pain or extreme fever. works like a charm....

trying to walk a straight line on sour mash and cheap wine...

Bunch of sissies with your fancy-schmancy medicines. Real Colombians drink hot water with canela to minimize menstrual cramps and drink hot aguapanela to "cure" everything else.
